It's cool that Hive helped you buy your laptop. I recall sending some money to someone on Hive a little while ago, in an underprivileged country, who spent it on a laptop they required for work and Hive. It felt nice. They then proceeded to bugger off completely and disappear. Oh well, that doesn't negate my generosity I suppose.
I used to get the bare minimum with computers but would outgrow their usefulness so quickly so now I get the best I choose to afford at the time whether I need the features or not, but I still make sure it's suited and not a gaming-oriented computer. I don't need that nutbaggery in my life.
